About Itasca County Probation

Itasca County Probation provides services for the Itasca County District Court and Itasca County under the authority of Minnesota Statute 244.19. Probation is a court ordered sanction imposed upon an offender for a period of supervision no greater than set by law. It is imposed as an alternative to confinement or in conjunction of confinement or intermediate sanctions. The purpose of probation is to deter further criminal behavior, punish the offender, help provide reparation to crime victims and their community and provide offenders with opportunities for rehabilitation. Our supervision strategies strive to promote public safety through accountability, community restoration and restitution and offender competency.
